ELEMENTAL MAGICK – FIRE

1- Make a list of things which have the combined qualities of having heat and
dryness. Be sure to record the results each day in your magickal diary. Do at
least daily for one week.

2- Find a place that is extremely hot, such as a desert or a dry sauna (not a
steam bath). If those are not possible, find a place where a roaring fire is
going. Such a fire could be in a fireplace or a barbecue pit or grill. Remove
all of your clothes, or as much as you can, and get as close to the heat source
as possible without risking a burn. Once you are in a position where it is
uncomfortably hot, but not painful or unbearable, do the relaxation ritual.
Focus on your breathing. Again imagine that you are a huge breathing apparatus.
Do this for a short while, usually ten minutes. Do not spend any time longer
then that. Do this exercise at different times of the day or night for one week.

3- Spend a period of up to three minutes (no more), once a day, imagining that
you are the element Fire. Feel the heat and your ability to transmit the heat.
Know what Fire feels like, what Fire is. Do this for one week.

4- Once you have learned to “be Fire”, the next step is to control the element
Fire. Take a moment and imagine yourself to be Fire. Bring the feeling from the
previous exercise into your consciousness. Next, hold your hands 9-12 inches
apart, palms facing each other. Imagine a bottle or box between your hands. Now,
as you exhale, visualize all of the Fire element which is in you going out with
your breath and into the container between your hands. Three to five breaths
should be enough to fill it. Then, with three breaths, inhale it back into you
and go back to normal consciousness.

THE TEST
The next time you feel listless or have a total lack of energy, do this
exercise. If you feel energized and revitalized, you have succeeded with the
test AND mastering the element Fire.
